Nope, because we have Jus Soli and pretty much NO european nation has an unrestricted Jus Soli. From inception we were set up differently in our structure of inclusiveness than Europe.

Also, there is a VERY big shift in how the colonies view themselves from say french and indian war to the revolution. Of course, in the 1750s they're british, no question. But by 1770 a new sense of identity for those living in the colonies has erupted. This new sense of who is and isn't "part of our group" included Jus Soli citizenship laws, something that Europe does not have in the same unrestricted sense that we do.

So the current sense of who is and isnt european does not include anyone just born there, one of your parents have to be european(whis peoples are what race, historically? Pretty sure the Nazis were about black supremacy, right? Cause germans are usually black.) and you better learn the language or you dont get citizenship.

There were 50,000 slave owners in Britain by the time they outlawed slave ownership. That's just owners who were compensated by the government in / around the 1830s when it became outlawed there. What do you think happened to all those slaves that were freed by that government act? That doesn't even include places like Jamaica which were British colonies and what about India? What about Hong Kong?

Do you think none of those people immigrated back to their central country?

I'm not even going to get into France.. Vietnam anyone? Côte d’Ivoire?

So are you saying a slave brought to London in 1800 but was freed in 1830 and whose ancestors have lived there since are less English than a white English person?

Yes. Of course they are less English because if they are an African slave they are not English at all they are just Africans that were sold as slaves to the British Empire during Britain's colonial period and were fortunate enough to benefit from the British being the first to abolish slavery and hence gained their freedom.

It's kind of like asking if the white European people that the Arabs enslaved during the Barbary Slave Trade would be any less Arab than actual Arabs if the Arabs had decided to free them and allow them to live in their territory. If you were a white European person back then that was captured by Muslim Arabs it wouldn't make you an Arab just because they enslaved you. You are still who you are.

Blacks from former British colonies didn't start arriving in England until 1948. Before that the British Isles were almost 99% white for literally thousands of years (think back to Stonehenge and even further).

The British Nationality Act of 1948 allowed people of the former colonies to claim citizenship.

The British Nationality Act 1948 was an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom that created the status of "Citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies" (CUKC) as the national citizenship of the United Kingdom and its colonies. The Act, which came into effect on 1 January 1949, was passed in consequence of the 1947 Commonwealth conference on nationality and citizenship, which had agreed that each of the Commonwealth member states would legislate for its own citizenship, distinct from the shared status of "Commonwealth citizen" (formerly known as "British subject").

The British stole a ship from the "Nazis" after the war and re-purposed it to bring in black people to Britian. It was called the Empire Windrush.

In 1948, Empire Windrush, which was en route from Australia to England via the Atlantic, docked in Kingston, Jamaica to pick servicemen who were on leave. The British Nationality Act 1948 had just been passed, giving British citizenship to all people living in Commonwealth countries, and full rights of entry and settlement in Britain. The ship was far from full, and so an opportunistic advertisement was placed in a Jamaican newspaper offering cheap transport on the ship for anybody who wanted to come and work in the UK. Many former servicemen took this opportunity to return to Britain with the hopes of rejoining the RAF, while others decided to make the journey just to see what England was like. The resulting group of 492 immigrants famously began a wave of migration from the Caribbean to the UK, and the name Windrush has as a result come to be used as shorthand for that migration, and by extension for the beginning of modern British multicultural society.
